xyzmo & Gartner

xyzmo SIGNificant has been mentioned as an e-signature vendor within two publications by Gartner including ‘Hype Cycle for Regulations and Related Standards, 2008’ and the ‘Hype Cycle for Governance, Risk and Compliance Technologies, 2008’.  The latter report, with analysis conducted by Gregg Kreizman, Carsten Casper and Kristen Noakes-Fry mentions the following regarding electronic signatures, “Most benefits attributed to any form of e-signature are really a result of automating a business process, and the signature is a small but important step in the process… E-signatures, including digital signatures, add efficiencies to formerly paper-based processes…”.

The first report, provided by the same analysts mentioned above, relates to the EU Digital Signature Directive and states, “Although the impact on commercial organizations is not significant at this point, the legal framework for digital signatures means that purchase orders and invoice systems using digital signatures are legally acceptable, and multiple implementations are in place in Germany."  Both reports mentioning xyzmo relay the benefits of e-signatures and express a growing interest in the market.
